Homes with vintage features and modern updates
Two subdivisions make up this almost entirely residential neighborhood. The Fink Meadows subdivision has older, custom houses on the north side, and Southern Meadows features newer homes on the south side. To the south, New Traditional properties date to around 2000. These often feature front porches and large windows, letting in lots of light. To the north, there are Cape Cods and ranch-style homes from the '70s and '80s. Some of these have custom features such as exposed wood beams and mosaic stonework. Some of the older properties balance vintage features with modern updates, including brick wood-burning fireplaces and new HVAC systems. Several dwellings also have new roofs. Cross Point properties are on the market for $215,000 to $320,000. With about a third of an acre per lot, front yards have well-kept, grassy lawns with flower beds adjoining the homes.

Walmart Supercenter 1.5 miles east
Veterans Memorial Parkway is a major commercial corridor. The area has a casual dining scene that includes fast food chains and lots of local sit-down restaurants. Señor Tacos is popular for its friendly service and Mexican staples such as fajitas and chimichangas. It's open until 10 p.m. most nights for dine-in service or delivery. Southside Diner starts the day off with a classic American breakfast. Walmart Supercenter is a south-side perk with a wide selection of grocery options and an auto care center.

Veterans Memorial Parkway is a gateway to the south side
Thanks to Veterans Memorial Parkway, work commutes may be a little easier. This east-west route connects to Purdue University, one of the area's largest employers, located about 6 miles northwest. Subaru of Indiana Automotive, employing more than 6,000 associates, is about 5 miles east. The road also connects to Sagamore Parkway, which leads 60 miles to Indianapolis and 30 miles to Lebanon. "We have families working in Lebanon and Indy, and that makes this area a good halfway point because you can get to Indy pretty quickly," says Cheryl Butcher, Managing Broker at Keller Williams Realty.

Flower festivities at Wea Creek Orchard
South Lafayette events include the Sunflower Festival at Wea Creek Orchard, a u-pick farm located 3 miles south. Fields of bright yellow flowers invite visitors to pick a bundle. The July event also features wagon rides around the farm and kid-friendly activities such as photos with princess characters.Recent updates at Armstrong Park
Lafayette Parks and Recreation has plans to add more parks on the city's south and east sides, and Cross Point will benefit. Current plans include the development of Brittany Chase Park, a 15-acre space about a mile east of Cross Point. Existing Lafayette parks are already 2 miles away or closer. Three lighted baseball fields are at the center of Armstrong Park, home to Lafayette Youth Baseball leagues for different ages. In 2023, Armstrong Park received a new 6,000-square-foot play area and updates to various sports facilities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
